Chapter 493
“Shawn, I’m someone else’s wife now. My husband and I have gotten a marriage license. Although we married right away, we’re developing feelings for each other. I won’t betray my husband.
“If you‘re hell–bent on getting in between my husband and I, starting troubles and rumors, you‘re depleting what‘s left of our relationship. I‘ll be forced to hate you and see you as an enemy.”
With paleness overtaking Shawn‘s complexion, Serenity sighed, wondering when she ever sent out the wrong message.
As she would put it, she would rather die than be nice to Shawn had she known it would give Shawn the wrong idea.
Serenity was long–time friends with Jasmine, so she knew Shawn through Jasmine. As she was older than Shawn, Serenity had always played the part of an older sister to him.
It never crossed her mind that…
“Shawn.”
Relaxing her tensed facial muscles, Serenity said, “You‘re a nice and cheerful boy, Shawn, but you and I don‘t go together. Stay away from me. I can promise to keep my distance from you too. Let time and distance help you to move on. You‘ll soon realize that it doesn‘t have to be me.
“Letting go is not losing the person. You‘ll be gaining a new life to find the love that‘s yours to keep. Shawn, thank you for liking me. Please forgive me that I can‘t give you any chance because I‘ve fallen in love with my husband.

Shawn‘s full attention was on Serenity, so he did not notice Zachary‘s arrival and departure. Seeing Serenity stunned there, he sensed something amiss and concernedly cried, “What‘s the matter, Serenity?”
Serenity pushed him away and ran into the shop to grab the car keys from the cash register. She then made her way out and unlocked the car without an umbrella. Serenity grabbed the coat and umbrella on the hood along the way.
She stuffed the coat and umbrella into the car before getting in herself.
“Serenity! Serenity!”
Shawn came after her, slapping on her car window and asking anxiously, “What happened, Serenity?”
All Serenity could think about was catching up to Zachary and explaining to him before he got the wrong impression again.
The last time, Zachary saw her serving Shawn some food. She had no idea Shawn had a crush on her at the time and was merely thanking him for his help. Shawn was a younger brother to her anyway.
Zachary did not lose his temper at the time or even let her know that he saw her.
He had an argument with her while he was drunk and started to stay out from the next day onward. Zachary gave her the cold shoulder for days and also deleted her number.
Since the incident, Serenity knew she must do something the moment a misunderstanding arose. She must clarity to him at the earliest before things go from bad to worse. They were different from other couples.
